Holy crap, I love it when the writers make a comedic love episode. They're always so great. Poor Heigani. Outstaged by an evolved Pokémon..again. XD Runpappa's reaction to Kuchiito falling immediately for a Koduck was just priceless. I thought it was pretty nifty seeing Satoshi give out the commands for Hasuburero. Guess his knowledge of Razor Leaf and Water Gun from Bulbasaur/Chikorita and Squirtle/Totodile in the past paid off. XP

Man oh man, not only that did they have Polka o Dolka..but they had TWO Chibi Sakaki segments. One positive, one negative. And I just love how Kojirou's the only one in the group questioning if Sakaki is really gonna do what Nyaasu says he'd use them for. XD

-After the Pin Missile attack stops, Dustox, having recovered from Pikachu’s attack, charges toward Lombre. The water pokemon is able to dodge its attack, and afterwards Mawile moves from behind Lombre and uses some kind of punch attack on Dustox.

-Torkoal got much-needed screentime, and lots of it, as well as getting in some great battles.

-The battles looked awesome, and Torkoal really looked badass while battling. Nice to see it finally getting some spotlight.

-Brock's Lombre obeyed Ash in a battle! Wow, this is the first time we've seen one of the group command a friend's Pokemon in years.

-Speaking of firsts, I think this is the first time Brock and Ash have battled each other since way back in Johto, when their Pikachu vs Vulpix battle was interrupted by Jigglypuff.

-The girl-du-jour was cute. I like her hair.

-The overall wackiness of Corphish and Lombre in this ep was awesome. Mawile was unexpectedly cute.

-Heh, Lombre's evolution is reminiscient of Lotad's evolution: totally random. For no reason, it just suddenly went over to Sayori's backpack, rummaged through it, found a Water Stone, and evolved! Ludicolo's antics afterward were hilarious, and I like how it turned the tables on Mawile.

-Brock did his "Takeshi no Paradiso" routine again, this time with Corphish! Too bad we only really got to see him in that outfit at the end when he was really tired.

-Ludicolo's reaction when Mawile went after that Psyduck was priceless.

Ash and Brock battled in the Referee Island episode, I believe. I'm not sure of the details, but I think Brock used Mudkip and Lombre at the time.

Anyway... DUSKTOX! *explodes* I love the little guy. (Wobbuffet and Dusktox are *so* a couple, you know? That's why they haven't been in so many episodes as of late... they are too busy with... other things. XD)

-Speaking of firsts, I think this is the first time Brock and Ash have battled each other since way back in Johto, when their Pikachu vs Vulpix battle was interrupted by Jigglypuff.

Nope. They had a Double Battle in the referee episode. Lombre and Mudkip against Corphish and Swellow.

Agreed. >_>;

Btw..did anyone think Lombre was pulling a Slakoth when Torkoal battled him? o_o It's posture and dodging looked remarkably the same as Senri's Slakoth when Satoshi battled him. I was expecting him to say that he was following Senri's dodging methods.

Lotad/Lombre had personalities, what are you talking about? They're the Hoenn version of Psyduck...except more competent in battle.

Lombre seemed to have released all its inhibitions when it evolved...it was dancing around like a maniac...although the next ep will tell if that was just happiness over evolving and the episode's adventure or if it's its new personality.

I liked Lombre a lot but it didn't actually HAVE a personality that we saw very often, it really just stood there....when Team Rocket are making up a plan because they have caught Lombre, it just stands there.....still....silent....staring....

I'd comment on Ludicolo's personality if I knew what it was like firsthand. Only time I saw him in action was as a Lotad in "Gonna Rule the School" - does nothing until Brock crouches down to his level, then Water Guns him in the face. Damn it if that didn't make me laugh.
